Thanks Goody for sharing right info and experience.... At first look it felt like a Baboon... So I got little bit idea here on Cercopithecidae family of Primates...

This species is vanishing rapidly in the wild and only a handful of animals reside in U.S. collections. I get to see this beautiful monkey every day at work.

That horizontal White line on forehead indicates... Chlorocebus (My guess of Genus)

Might be from Africa.
